Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office to Purchase Salida Auto Sales Building

Goodbye Salida Auto Sales, Hello to the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office.

During a special meeting of the Chaffee County Board of Commissioners last week, commissioners approved a contract of $2.3 million to purchase the former car dealership at 7420 U.S. Highway 50. The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office will build a campus there. 

Chaffee County has had a space problem for all departments, including the sheriff’s office, at the courthouse for quite some time.

The county will take possession of the property on September 28th.
